Grading and Homework
Student assignments and assessments are graded on a 3, 2, 1 scale. This is the same grading scale you will see on your child’s report card and followed by all Hudsonville Public Elementary Schools.
3- Proficient- Student is proficient in this area of study; your child is able to complete the work independently.
2- Progressing- Student is progressing in this area of study; your child understands what has been taught but may need some guidance and practice before becoming proficient.
1- Beginning- Student is beginning to understand this area of study; your child is beginning to understand the new skills being taught, but is unable to show their understanding without a lot of guidance.
For your child to become "Proficient" within any given subject area, they will need a lot of guidance and practice within the classroom. Often times the assignments that we complete together in class with not have a grade on them. This means that we worked through them together or that I informally assessed the students during independent work time.
